UPDATE 2007-03-22:
"Hello,
My name is Melvin Sparks jazz guitarist with live shows posted on your site.
I am writing regarding people wanting to post shows and can not for being blocked by Brian Zuckerberg.
Please note that Brian Zuckerberg no longer represents me (Melvin Sparks) and is not my manager so, please remove him from blocking any shows trying to be posted on my behalf.
Thanks"
(The Below is not valid anymore, but kept for historical record):
On 9/15/04 Brian Zuckerberg requested he be the only person to upload MSB shows.
On April 27, 2003, Brian Zuckerberg, MSB manager, gave permission for shows to be hosted at the Archive:
I am Melvin Sparks' manager. There is no taping policy on the books, but it is allowed, and shows are also available on Furthurnet and Rockslide.
Brian followed up with:
Melvin Sparks Band Taping Policy
Audio Taping
Audio and DAT taping is permitted at shows for
personal, non-commercial, home use only. We recommend
that you bring microphones and portable tape machines.
Audience taping is highly recommended. Soundboard
patches will be given out on a first come first served
basis at the discretion and availability of the sound
engineer and production crew. Do not expect power; be
prepared for everything. Please stay out of the way
of the working crew at all times.
